Optimizing microwave-assisted production of waste-based activated carbons for t...
Sousa, Érika; Rocha, Luciana; Jaria, Guilaine; Gil, Maria V.; Otero, Marta; Esteves, Valdemar; Calisto, VâniaThis work aimed at the microwave-assisted production of activated carbon (AC) from primary paper mill sludge (PS) for the adsorption of antibiotics from water. Production conditions, namely pyrolysis temperature, pyrolysis time and activating agent (KOH):PS ratio, were optimized as a function of product yield, specific surface area (SBET), total organic carbon (TOC) content and adsorptive removal percentage of ...
Recent advances on the development and application of magnetic activated carbon...
Rocha, Luciana S.; Pereira, Diogo; Sousa, Érika; Otero, Marta; Esteves, Valdemar I.; Calisto, VâniaThe adsorption of pharmaceutical substances using carbonaceous materials, such as activated carbon (AC), biochar (BC) and hydrochar (HC), has received substantial attention by researchers working on water treatment, due to the simplicity, low-cost and high performance of this process. In order to widen the potentiality of these carbonaceous materials and to overcome some of their limitations, particularly the i...
